Overview
This HTS category, 9902.07.64, specifically covers the chemical compound Sodium [(4-aminophenyl)sulfonyl](methoxycarbonyl)azanide, commonly known as Asulam sodium salt. This substance is identified by its CAS Number 2302-17-2. Its classification within Chapter 99 signifies a temporary legislative measure or a specific import restriction, rather than a standard product categorization. Importantly, this entry indicates that Asulam sodium salt is provided for under subheading 2935.90.75, suggesting it is a scheduled temporary modification or restriction related to this particular chemical.
Asulam sodium salt is a herbicide used in agriculture to control broadleaf weeds. Its inclusion in Chapter 99, under Section XXII, highlights its unique regulatory status. Unlike the broad product categories found in the earlier chapters of the HTS (e.g., Chapter 01 for live animals), this entry is a specific provision for a singular chemical compound with defined temporary import rules or restrictions. It is crucial for importers to recognize that while the chemical itself might fall under a different chapter for general classification, this 9902 code indicates specific, often time-limited, customs treatment.
Given that 9902.07.64 is a leaf node, it does not possess further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under this entry is solely on the precise identification of Asulam sodium salt and adherence to the temporary provisions outlined by its inclusion in Chapter 99. Importers must consult the specific text of any trade agreements, temporary legislation, or Section 22 proclamations that govern this particular HTS code to ensure full compliance.
